with Ben and Ang
Little Bingo has been seen on ultrasound, but now officially felt by both Mom and Dad. He is growing and beginning to kick and move. You may notice the pronoun ‘he’. Well for now the doctor said that she thought it was a boy, but it was a few weeks early on the ultrasound to be totally sure. I guess we will have to wait for a few more months before our second ultrasound to really know for sure.
Here is a conversation that Ben and Cassie had today in the car on our road trip:
“Daddy, do you know how babies come out?”
“Uh… Cassie, it is complicated.”
“No it isn’t Daddy, they come out your bum.”
Laughter erupts from all of us, and the awkward moment passes… :) Count on kids to give you good road trip material!
Today was Bingo’s first appointment.
For now, Ludmila is our doctor, and she did a great job today! Of course, Bingo is still only 16 to 17 weeks old, so he’s got a lot of growing to do (does the phrase, “skin and bones” mean anything to you?). But we saw Bingo’s heart beating away, 135 bpm, strong, steady and very much alive! YAY! Still no conclusive evidence of gender, but not to worry, we’ll know soon enough… Speaking of, Bingo’s due date is also inconclusive, but anywhere between April 25 and May 10 we should have one more incredible experience in a hospital room (it better be in an hospital room!). Can’t wait to meet you Bingo! (By the way, don’t worry if you can’t tell what is baby on the image … I can barely tell either!)
We’ve been working through a textbook – how to read in 100 lessons. Of course, making it through a whole lesson doesn’t always work, and sometimes Cas doesn’t totally ‘get it’, but it’s coming along and she can read some small words like cat, rat, and rug. It will be great when she can read to Jay, and to our new baby that comes along this May!!
‘Can I peek Mom?’ To find out what Cassie wants to peek at, take a look under our videos.
I know that unless it is your own baby, this is kind of lame… but I couldn’t resist.
Probably the best news I’ve ever heard on Father’s Day, right here! Congrats Kyle & Marilyn!
